Re-Positioning a Left Pelvis

First, I test Daphne’s pelvis. Because her left leg won’t move down (adduct) to the bench, this indicates her left pelvis is forward compared to her right pelvis.

Second, she does an exercise to reposition her left pelvis. The position she is in strongly activates her left hamstring and turns off her hip flexors.

Third, I retest her left leg. I mention in the video that even though her left leg was now going down to the bench, I still felt a lot of tension in her leg. So I had to test her neck (not shown on the video). It turns out that she had some neck restrictions and these neck restrictions were causing tightness in the rest of her body. Once we repositioned her neck so that it could move freely (also not shown on the video) her leg adducted down to the bench more easily. The tension in her body dissipated immediately.

Important Note!

If you are interested in the science of Postural Restoration, or are in pain and need help, I highly encourage you to do the following:
1. Look at the blog posts on this site beginning in 2016. They have lots of detailed information on PRI related topics. Yes, it can be confusing in the beginning, but it's imperative to get an understanding of PRI if you want to help yourself.
2. You can also check my other site: http://pritrainer.com, it also has a lot of PRI specific information.
3. If you need help with a physical issue and are in the United States or the UK, I highly recommend checking the Postural Restoration homepage where there is a "Find a Provider" section.
I get lots of e-mails and I have tried helping people as much as possible through the internet/email, and it just doesn't work.
Thanks,
Neal
